    Mistking timer

    Got a timer but can't seem to get one that does seconds. Ordered another mistking one and will keep the one I bought today as a spare.:)

    Mistking timer

    Have run my mistking successfully for two and a half years. This morning it went off at 11am and never turned off. Just as well I was home as viv soaking. I have reset it twice but it still refuses to turn off. I have not touched it for months so wonder if it's come to the end of its life and I...

    my chameleon is acting strange.

    He only needs one uv light. Basking light can be household bulb. You need to check basking temps. Don't let them get above 30c or he might be too hot. Calcium without d3 daily, calcium with d3 once every two weeks and a multivitamin every two weeks. No lights at night . They need complete...

    my chameleon is acting strange.

    . Glass tank isn't ideal. You don't have correct supplements. You don't have correct lighting. You are feeding wild bugs. Don't be downhearted. You can change all these things but if you don't they will eventually make your boy sick. Get the above sorted and it should make a difference. Read...

    Go with you gut feeling. If you think he needs to see a vet then see one. Take a sample of poop with you and get it checked for parasites. Your boy will not be ok until you get a uv light and use the correct supplements. If you are ever tempted to use a syringe remember that a chams breathing...

    I've read your care sheet. I wouldn't agree with everything . Being on this forum you should find all the answers you need. There is a wealth of knowledge on here. Just remember that everyone has their own opinion but if you are not sure just ask. Also on here there are vets who can be very...

    Some don't like direct spraying but if you spray around him it might work. This is why lots of plants is a good idea. They lick the droplets from the leaves. Humidity should peak at around 70% three to four times a day allowing the tank to dry out between. Most of us use paper towel, news paper...

    When you spray try using warm water. Prolonged spraying helps but you will have drainage problems in a glass tank. Can you check if you can get silkworms on line. They are full of fluid. You said his poop was brown. Chams poop is made up of two parts. The brown bit and the urates which is his...

    I like it. Have often thought of doing that. Not sure about this jelly. Can I suggest you get Reptivite without d3. It's made by Zoomed the same as the pic you posted no. Unfortunately keeping chams is a delicate balance. Get it wrong and your boy may be in trouble. I have seen jelly pots...

    I dust all feeders with supplements at every feed. How do you know that your Cham has eaten the dusted feeder?Also how do you know if the supplement hasn't brushed off or been washed off before eaten? I wouldn't know:)

    Ok I use that TWICE A MONTH. You need one with NO D3 for daily use and a multivitamin TWICE A MONTH. I use Reptivite without d3. Chams usually drink moving water like drips from leaves. Mine likes to drink drops from the tap and also water running from the tap. Standing water like in a bowl...

    Your drip system is a great idea, just make sure you put some mesh over the bowl.

    my chameleon is acting strange.

    It's a colius I believe and it's safe. Two very popular ones here are pothus and ficus. They give hight. Good for humidity. Can you search on line for feeders in your country. You may be able to get stick insects, Dubai roaches ( they don't climb) mealworms, butterworms, silkworms ( my favourite...

    I know that plant. I will check it for you. No moss. Do you have a pic of the " white stuff" container. It is very important.

    my chameleon is acting strange.

    Chameleons in captivity need a source of uv which is given by a uv light or direct sunlight. Because yours does not live outside like some in America he needs this. He also needs his insects dusted with plain calcium daily, calcium containing d3 twice a month and a multivitamin without d3 twice...

    https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ Thank you. There is a lot in your husbandry that you need to change. Firstly, what sort of ventilation does your tank have . Glass tanks can be used successfully but you must have fresh air circulating. Does he get outside in the sun...

    The bucket I use for my mistking has a lid on it that way I know that no Cham poop or feeder insect can drop into it and pollute the water.:)
